Special provisions, illegible hand writing. PLEASE HELP URGENT!. (1 Viewer)

[Mdzabakly]

so i had my half yearlys recently. I did well and topped every subject, but every teacher i have has complained about my handwriting.
Ive had horrible handwriting since i was young, and it has gotten better lately, that is in class.
once i get into a test room my whole body shakes sometimes, like i have the shivers or something, i get really stressed and write quickly and illegibly, idk why, its like when im writining in my book i can write quite neat but once i get into the test my hand goes crazy. my test paper looks like a someone just filled up the lines with giberish =_=.
This is especially negatively shown in my last assesment.
it was a listening paper, at first i got 11/15, my teacher complained about my handwriting, then she looked over it and she found the answers and turned it into a 13/15, then i was going through it and was asking her why i didnt get full marks in the last question and she explained it, then i read out to her my response, and below i had lines indicating to my answer and in the end i got an extra mark, 14/15. it is scary that because of my handwriting i could have lost 3 marks, ive heard before of speical provisions for illegible handwriting but im unsure about it, does anyone know how if i can get special provisions for this? =_=, please help!!

I don't think so, unfortunately. It says at http://studentsonline.bos.nsw.edu.au/go/myhsc/faq/ :

My handwriting is really messy. Can I get disability provisions?
Generally, no. Markers are use to reading a wide range of handwritingstyles. There are a small number of cases where students havedifficulty with their fine motor skills, such as dysgraphia, whichmakes their handwriting illegible. The usual provision for thiscondition is the granting of a writer, typically a Year 11 student. Aswith all disability provisions, the Board would need to see strongevidence of the condition and may ask for additional writing samples.

You have probably left it way too late as applications for special provsions closed at the end of Term 1 unless related to specific illnesses.

If you are in Year 11 then you need to find out if it is a medical issue and get the paperwork started - if it isn't a medical issue you won't get special provisions by the way. Untidy/illegible handwriting of itself isn't a reason for special provisions. You need to speak to whomever at your school is in charge of these things - mine it is the Director of Studies who co-ordinates with the Special Ed teacher.
